The rare facilities of thiS region attracted to it, - at an early day, the energies and the resi dence of Roland - Curtin, who for 40years was a leading iron Manufacturer'in Centre 'coun ty, liccunirdated a competent estate, 'and has left three sons, brothers of Andrew, engaged in. the great staple business of TennsylVania. *Andrew G. Curtin .e..nriesof first-rate Penn sylvania stock. His father' married the daaghter bi Andrew Gregg; who was one of the great men of TennsylVaniti, in the early' .part of this century. He was a representft --tive from the interior of the State, in the •first Corgress under the Constitution; and sat in the-House ofteprentatives for eighteen successive - years. He was then transferred to' the United States Senate, and served term of six years. Andrew ' dregg steady supporter . of !the Administration of the earlier, P'residents, and especially}' of Jef ferson and Madison. ' He offered in Congress i the famous war resolutions which f)ree - eded. .?aitr last'eo ufl let with Great Britain, and which , elicited the eloquence of Henry •Clay and John Randolph. After his retirement from ;Congress, he acted as Secaetary of the Com monwealth during the administration of Gov. •Jorseph Holster. Every,. Pennsylvanian of :Middle age will remember the fierce and 'de cisive State canvass, , of 1823,' when the old Federal party, tinder the lead of Andrew 'Gregg as their candidate for.Governr, made it lust: stand for victory and existence, and was defeated' - by the 'old Pennsylvania De maetacy ander,folui.indrew Stilze.

He was an original supporter 'ofthe nomination of General ,Win,field, Scott, and in 1852 he was again placed oil the etcetera ticket, and worked with his usual zeal to car ry for the : hero of the valley of MeXico. Indeed, .Mr. Curtin was at ,all tinted a thOrongh inbred Pennsylvania Whig, devoted to all those conservative andlumane ideas which distifigniihed.that . party which now sleeps in the grave of Clay and Webster. He is, by training anal by mature conviction, a believer in systematic :and efficent protec tion, in 'liberal infernal ; itnPforements,..in the ' polictOf encouraging well-paid and wide diffused tree 'American labor..
